    Gear, schmear. NFL players won't even wear pads.....players are really weird about appearance and "stay the same" vs safety..... I'd guess any studies would come well after Joe moves to 1B.
  2. Mike Sixel
    You are proposing moving Sano from 3B, but not willing to move a 30 year old catcher? I do agree, Arcia might be best suited to 1B, but I think he's a DH/RF over time.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Six players under 27 for a rebuilding team. Ugh. Now, Gibson will beon their next year, and maybe Tonkin (though they keep acquiring relief pitchers in trades, so who knows). that is up to 8.....should be more than half the roster though.
  4. Mike Sixel
    btw, where is THIS TEAM getting an 800 OPS 1B in the next two years? and why do you think Pinto/Herrmann will OPS 620?
  5. Mike Sixel
    There is no wrong way to be a fan. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Only 30? people here are saying never sign a FA that age. How old would you say he has to be Brock? I don't care if he's in the hall, I want the Twins to win games.
  7. Mike Sixel
    That's our point! We want him there for 150-160 games.....what is that worth, 25% more games (150-120=30.....30/120 is 25%). 25% more at bats from one of the best hitters in the game, that's worth a lot, imo.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Presly is going to be 28 this year, right? I don't know I'd call him a prospect exactly.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Young guys? This is their age at the end of this year: Pressley 28 Mastro 28 Thomas 30 Ramirez 28
  10. Mike Sixel
    Oh, and Mauer is a lot older than he was 6 and 9 years ago, John.....just look at the fast decline of most catchers at this age, why risk it? If they won't sign a legit 1B, why not move him?
  11. Mike Sixel
    so taking out the three years he's been hurt, catching hasn't led to him being hurt?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Based on what evidence?
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'd like to see more than half a year from a guy before I move a top 50 prospect to a new position......but it is nice to talk about this problem, compared to others this team has. Leave Rosario at 2B for a couple of months of AAA, and see what Dozier does. I don't think there is a glut of OF.....so moving him there is not the end of the world. If this was Joe Madden, and their elite utility guy, I'd say go for it....but this is not that kind of forward thinking organization, so they need to pick 1 position for him.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Funny, in the Carroll thread I am told cash can buy prospects, so I would think if the twins gave Pittsburg millions, they could buy some prospect.....wouldn't that make it more likely you get more for Justin, or does it only make sense for the twins to get money, but not other teams?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Well, I am not convinced hicks will ever hit, so ellsbury. And pitching, lots of starting pitching. High upside guys to 1 year deals that can be flipped if they do well. Or tanaka, or the Cuban 1b....can always DH him ......any SS.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Or you an sign them and flip them,,,,,or maybe Sano and hicks and Rosario add 8 wins, and getting two starters that are not among the 5 worst in baseball jump starts things. Or maybe the FA is like hunter, and does not just drop off the earth....but you will never know if you refuse to sign them.....and yes, McPhail had no trouble spending money in the dome, so this not a twins issue.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Depressing..... I want the Cuban 1B at least. That lineup is pretty much this years, one of the worst offenses and defenses in the game.
  18. Mike Sixel
    And those two teams tore down their roster....maybe losing a lot in the fall is what St. Peter meant by meaningful games? They are approaching being the worst team in the league that actually tried this year, again.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Ya, because being below dome level in payroll after inflation did not leave them enough cash.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Wasn't I told on this thread you could not get a player for Carroll, and I should be happy the Twins got cash?
  21. Mike Sixel
    First words in my post were "we don't know", jay.....I acknowledged that. Will you and Seth acknowledge that we have lots and lots of data indicating that Twins would not eat salary? Years of how Ryan acts, stories on national media sites saying they would not eat salary? Or am I just supposed to think this is a 15 year coincidence with Ryan at the helm?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Phillies just got a player for Carroll's clone.....not cash, a player.
  23. Mike Sixel
    We don't know either way, what we can be pretty sure of is that Ryan was not willing to eat the salary anyway, so it does not matter what teams would have given up. We have over a decade of evidence to support that conclusion, and numerous quotes (including from the manager) that money was an issue. Some people choose to believe that isn't true, others trust that Gardy and the media (who love Ryan, so why would they lie) are telling the truth, money was an issue, and the Twins would not eat any.
  24. Mike Sixel
    And Justin now saying he actually feels excited again.....I wonder if Ryan even cares about how bad they are right now. There is no evidence he does. And yes, it certainly appears that money is more important than anything else, but apparently it is lazy to say that..... I'm happy for Justin, I would be happy for anyone that gets out from under this awful team, frankly. I find it odd they are all excited about a fungible middle reliever, given the quality of their MLB and AAA pitchers, they are flush with those already. Mediocre/bad starters turn into decent middle relievers. All they got here is two older players to clog the 40 man roster. This is how I feel, and there is no right or wrong here, it is ok if others feel as if Ryan and the Pohlads care.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Miami and their two World Series championships disagree you cannot tear a team down.
